Petition to abolish all state statutes which allow forced unequal custody orders against law-abiding parents, which statutes drive the divorce industry in a winner-takes-all process that precludes a level playing field vital to parental cooperation, and for reparations for damages.

| 104 | 7:58 am PDT, May 7 | Alison Benitz | Ketchikan | Alaska | I, along with my children, have been alienated from my first daughter by her stepmom and dad. My husband, children, and I have been alienated from his first and second sons. All these alienations were unfounded, done by "winner take all" attitudes of parents interested in their own agendas, instead of thinking of what was best for the child. I shudder to think what life will be like for children who were taught to hate someone they once loved and looked up to. This cannot be good for society as a whole. |

| 100 | 12:04 pm PST, Jan 14 | francis knze | wilton | Connecticut | You bet! The system is corrupt. The American legal system has been corrupted almost beyond recognition, Judge Edith Jones of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, told the Federalist Society of Harvard Law School on February 28. She said that the question of what is morally right is routinely sacrificed to what is politically expedient. The change has come because legal philosophy has descended to nihilism. |
| 99 | 11:54 am PST, Jan 14 | John DiBiase Jr. | Meriden | Connecticut | I have been fighting for the last 9 years to regain custody of my son after being a stay at home dad for three years prior to my divorce because of the discrimination against my disabilities. I know of many other Fathers with disabilities that also have been discriminated against because their disabilities and mecause they are males. |

When the powerful woman groups encourage real equality and not portray woman as the victim all the time only then will our children and our decency as a society will be as it should. They have the means, influence and power to bring this unbalenced justice into balance. It must come from them. |

| 93 | 10:18 am PST, Nov 8 | jonathan snow | san antonio | Texas | The stats are overwhelming AGAINST single mother homes. So why do the judges continue to discriminate againt the dads. No wonder our children are having these problems. I whole heartedly believe that if judges would award dads with custody, you WILL see adramatic turn around in these stats. |

| 91 | 12:47 am PDT, Sep 3 | Steve Hahn | Columbia Falls | Montana | My wife and I have been happily married for 13 years On November11, 2004, 5 Police Officers came to my home, took our children ( then 9 and 10) and kicked us out of the house, threatening to arrrest us if we ever came back. I own(ed) the home outright. The police stole my children and roughly 2 million in property. We were not arrested or charged with a crime against the children. We were denied a trial, and since they left us without a dime....we can't afford a lawyer. I have written everyone from the Atttorney General to the President. On May 10, 2005, a Judge ordered the SSA to give us our children and help us with housing. They gave us a list of homeless shelters and the finger. Now, they take half of my income, and refuse to let us even talk to our kids. I am ready to just take my children back from them, and cripple anyone who tries to stop me. Steve Hahn |

| 88 | 7:52 am PDT, Jun 21 | David Johnson | Chandler | Arizona | My ex wife and I have joint custody but she has abused it in such a despicable manner that it defies logic. I am now back in court fighting for sole custody, and in our depositions preceding the actual trial she lied about everything humanly possible to make me the evil man so as to put her in a better position for custody. But luckily for me I began installing safeguards which I activated a year or two in advance in case she decided to lie when the time came. My case will be special and may be a signature case for men who want equal parental rights and a shared life with the children they produced. My case will play out in Georgia (where she picked up and moved to from Arizona) and hopefully will encourage more men to not give up the fight for what is rightfully theirs as well as their ex's. This case should at least put us on equal ground. In all honesty this case will (or should) also sicken most women and hopefully get them to open their eyes to the fact that we are men, we are human, we are fathers. Take it from me, no matter how beaten up you feel, or how depressed, or how much you feel you can't take it another day, please do not explode stay focused and don't ever give up. These are our children we are talking about. They are not toys, they are not pets, they are not pawns. They are our children. They are not just objects, they are little human beings that we created and need us as well as their mothers. PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP!! |

| 78 | 8:42 am PST, Feb 22 | Robin Denison | Miami | Florida | Mark, Congratulations on the work you are doing on behalf of parents who have been victimized by unfairness in the court system. It is hoped that one day soon courts realize the importance of having both parents meaningfully involved in a child's life. |

She has even been convicted of Felony Child abuse, neglect, and has had 2 DUI, and is a known alcoholic. She did not even have a home for the home study, however, she still has custody, and continues to deny visitation to me. |

| 71 | 5:24 am PST, Dec 25 | Lenir Richardson | Merrifield | Virginia | Hi, My name is Lenir Richardson. I have a victim of violance in my marriage, by the court and legal system, who violated my civil rights, and of my minor child. I have not seen or spoken to my child since May 3, 2000 and since that time I've suffered many other violants action in the communities, police and so forth, including persons who conspired to have me killed in support of the court's decision for the custody of my minor child. I've been working on the case alone since 1999 and have not get any positive results. On the contrary,in my experience, the more I work to protect myself and my child, the more I get hurt. Would anyone be interested to help, be my advocate to find out why the courts in Fairfax County did violate my civil and human rights like this? As you can imagine this case is large, and I have done all I know to do, unsuccessfully. Today is Christmas Day, while most of the Nation is celebrating, I am working all night and will be working all day long, reading and writing a new petition in hopes to have an opportunity to see and speak to my child, soon. There is nothing can cause more pain then be falsely accused and riped apart from the presence of your child. Sincerely, Lenir Richardson |

Petition For Redress of Grievances
PETITION FOR REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES
Criminal Section, Civil Rights Division
United States Department of Justice
Washington, D.C.
We Men, Fathers, Husbands and Concerned Citizens of the United States of America hereby petition the U.S. Government for redress of grievances. We demand a U.S. Department of Justice investigation into the Civil Justice Systems of the various States of the United States. We charge the Civil Courts, specifically the Domestic Relations/Family Courts, Circuit Courts and judges, with blatant and gross gender bias and prejudice against men, and in favor of women in the vast majority of divorce cases involving child custody, visitation, property division and child support.
In these Courts of Injustice, men are discriminated against in nearly all cases involving women, and occasionally women are denied their constitutional rights to equality and parenthood as well. We demand equality for all parents. In most cases, however, men's constitutional rights to raise our children, to life, liberty and property are systematically violated. Men are treated as though guilty from the very start, denied due process, and forced to endure the destruction of our parenthood and alienation from our children due to the existence of statutes providing for forced unequal custody orders in direct violation of the guarantees of due process, equal protection of the laws, and the liberty interest in the family under the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution.
We demand a full and impartial investigation, state by state, district by district. We demand abolition of all statutes which allow forced unequal custody orders against law-abiding parents absent a compelling state interest, which statutes promote the "winner take all", adversarial process that destroys parent-child relations and preclude a level playing field which is vital for parents to cooperate in rearing children after a divorce.
We demand justice and compensation for emotional damages suffered by this illegal, state-sponsored terrorism and kidnapping of our children, loss of family relations, and fincancial damages from fighting this corrupt divorce industry presided over by state family law judges.
WE DEMAND REFORM
